Throughout the market, peppers, cucumbers, string beans, and lettuce abound, along with Jersey staples like apples, corn and tomatoes. Rifkin Farms also sells an assortment of flowers. Petunias, marigolds, zinnias, begonias, and dahlias are just some of the choices offered to those with a green thumb.
